| | The 2008 Election: A Political Scientist's Perspective in Portland | |||||||
| |||||||||
| |||||||||
The Columbia University Club of Portland is pleased to welcome Robert S. Erikson, Professor of Political Science at Columbia University, as he examines the election in historical perspective. Is this election a clear break from the past? Is it a realigning election? What do the voters want? Is the election a mandate for change?
Professor Erikson received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. His major interests include the study of
electoral politics, public opinion, and policy representation in the United States.
He is the coauthor of The Macro Polity (2002), American Public Opinion (6th ed., 2001), and Statehouse
Democracy (1993). He has coauthored several other books and has published numerous articles in major
academic journals, including the recent “Are Political Markets Really Superior to Polls as Election Predictors?” which appeared in Public Opinion Quarterly. He has been editor of Political Analysis and American Journal of Political Science, and is a member of the editorial boards of Public Opinion Quarterly and State Politics and Policy. In 1996 he was the co-recipient of the Heinz Eulau Award for best article in American Political Science Review.
